USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Barker Dome and the intricate drainage systems of the San Juan Basin define this high desert landscape. The map provides a detailed view of the complex hydrology of San Juan County, where ephemeral watercourses like Barker Arroyo and Jones Arroyo have carved deep recesses such as Purgatory Canyon and Ute Canyon. These geographical features demonstrate the historical reliance on seasonal water sources in the arid Southwest.
